Q: Who can use Cherry Call?

A: Anyone phoning from inside the UK can dial the access numbers listed below. These 08/09 access numbers are not accessible from overseas. The 0161 access numbers (prepaid accounts only) will be accessible, but are subject to the cost of calling the UK with the line provider you use.

Q: How do you bill me for the international calls I make?

A: With our “Instant Access Numbers” your normal phone calls provider will charge you for every minute you’re connected to our service. You will not receive a bill directly from us. If you are a BT customer then BT will charge you our advertised pence per minute rate, plus their access charge of 9.58p per minute. Other phone company’s access charges vary, and can be viewed here

Q: Do I need to register or make any prepayments before I can use your service?

A: Not when using our instant access numbers (these numbers are prefixed 0843, 0872 and 09) – all you need to do is dial the special Cherry Call access number to start saving. There are no accounts to set up, and there’s no need to make any prepayment.

We do also offer a prepaid service, which you can pay for in 3 different ways: By SMS by sending the word CHERRY to 68888 – click here to see full details of this service, or you can buy a calling card online. Both of these services require that you use a PIN, which is sent to you on receipt of your payment.

If you would like the benefits of a prepaid service (no extra access charges levied by your line provider, as you’ll be calling our 0800 freephone access number or our 0161 access number), you can create an account and register the phones you’ll be making calls from (landlines & mobiles) which means you don’t need to remember a PIN.
